Vermeil in Gold

Alto Goldfield is a good student who has passed all his classes with flying colors. However, no matter how hard he tries he can't seem to summon a familiar, which is a necessary requirement for moving up to his second year at Ortiga Magic Academy. After being told he has one more day to make a contract with a familiar or he repeats his first year, Alto decides to go to the library for other options. While he is searching through the shelves, a book falls on his head. He decides to take it to his room and copies a summoning circle design displayed in the book. It is then that he summons the demon Vermeil. After forming a contract with her she tells him the reason that he has been unable to form a contract before now is that he has so much magical power that it has scared off all the magical creatures that he tried to make his familiars. However, this doesn't bother her since she needs his magic power after being sealed away for so long, and the way to get it is by kissing. With this new contract, Alto is able to move up to his second year of school along with his childhood friend Lilia. Will everything continue to go as smoothly as Alto expects, or will the consequences of Vermeil be too much to handle?

Vermeil in Gold is an interesting story. It has the dual system like Liar, Liar and The Asterisk War, but rather than fighting using weapons or games they use magic and familiars. The focus is also not really on the duals like it is in those anime's. It is more of a magic academy anime like The Demon Lord is Reborn as a Typical Nobody and The Iceblade Sorcerer Shall Rule the World. It does have fan service which mainly consists of Vermeil showing off her body mainly when she kisses Alto to get his magic power. There is also a scene where she takes off her shirt so that Alto can measure her for a school project, as well as scenes with girls in their underwear. One scene is in the  girls locker room and one is in the student council office. It does swear a few times at the beginning, but the language for the majority of the anime is clean. The action is also really good. I would definitely suggest it if you like magic academy anime and don't mind the fan service.
